I would use it for a trip to visit my brother and his family in Mississippi this summer. His daughter and her young boys live there, too and I miss them terribly. My brother has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Life is too short to not spend all the time together that you can with friends and family.

That would be a wonderful way to spend prize money, Betsy. I’m sad to hear about your brother and hope you’ll be able to go visit him before too long. As you say, life is too short, and we don’t want regrets. Peace to you, and thank you for visiting Animal Bliss.

What could I do with $500? Pay off debt incurred from vet services in April (compounding interest…), start car repairs, and buy a good book series to enjoy in the beautiful summer weather with a fur baby by my side.

Thanks for a sweet giveaway! I would have to use most of the money for my son’s medical bills, so I could just be able to relax a little at home. I would also spend some on our sweet shelter dog for a few well deserved treats!

No, I did not know that BOAT stands for “Bring on another thousand,” but I can relate to that. We’re in the process of spiffing up our house and it never ends, does it? Thanks for entering the giveaway. Good luck!

Hi – I am known on my blog as Mom Kim. I currently have 2 Beagles – a 10+ year old senior I have had since she was 8 weeks & a 9 month old that I just rescued as a result of her needing a new home – her family no longer wanted her and I am finding out why but I won’t give up on her because she can be a really sweet pup. I might use some of the money for some obedience training/socialization – I did that extensively with my senior when younger and her angel brother – both earned their CGC’s and were great therapy dogs.

Also my closest nephew is getting married this December so could use some for a wedding gift and clothes for me.

New clothes for a wedding! Fun. I definitely recommend taking your rescue through obedience as well. It’s so worth it, and fun too, as I’m sure you already know. Thanks for entering the giveaway, and good luck to you. Peace

Thanks for responding Jeanne, I find sharing my loss is helping me heal. Really only share with a dog lovers. It will take time, but I know I will be ok. I was so fortunate and blessed to have had her in my life. I miss her and I know you understand the loss. I know that must have been a difficult time for you, with the loss of your girl. I am going to try and use her name as my passwords. Good idea. Have a great day. Thanks Holly,

I love fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, arugula, cilantro, etc. I am desperate for a garden, but my husband keeps not having time. If I win, I am going to hire someone to fix raised beds for me. I can’t get down in a garden like most people because of my disabilities; so with the raised beds, I could do what I love and have a great garden and enjoy my fantastic veggies. There’s nothing like it.

Cucumbers and tomatoes out of the garden are my favorite too. I used to have raised garden vegetable gardens years ago. (Then I got divorced.) They were wonderful, though, and so much easier to work with. Thanks for entering the giveaway. Good luck.

Goog Morning Jeanne, My name is Holly Marlatte and I am a Canadian living in Madison,MS. I raised my three daughters on my own and I always believed that animals belonged in our home. We have had cats ,dogs , fish,lizards, hermit crabs , mouse and a regular visit from a my daughters boyfriend’s snake. I especially love dogs. My youngest moved to Portland and is working at a large vet. clinic. She was the one of my children that sounds just like you. All my girls are Canadian. I just recently lost my best friend. She was a pure German Shepherd. She was the first pet I ever had on my own. 🙁 She passed away on April 4th,2017. She was only 2 years and 2 months old.Her name was Toque ( someone to protect me and keep me warm) She was so awesome and I am still struggling with the loss. She was so beautiful and strong. We had an awesome relationship. She was my best friend. When you loss a family member, people sort of get it, but when you loss your dog, people think you should get over it quick. I had a necropsy performed on her and she died from intestinal strangulation from how she healed from being spayed. The vet said in the report it was so sad and tragic to loss such an other wise healthy girl. I had such great plans for our life. It was just her and I. I am not sure why I told you all this, maybe because I felt you would understand the feeling. If I won, I don’t know what I would do with the money. Save it for a rainy day or possibly use it to purchase items for my next dog. Have a good day EH.

Well, thank you for sharing your story with me, Holly. And yes, I do understand. I lost my best friend German Shepherd dog a few years ago. She died of bone cancer at the age of 14, so I had her for a long, long time. She was the best, loyal dog I ever had. I still think of her a lot, partly because some of my online passwords have her name in it. I did that on purpose. Maybe you should try that. It might make you feel that she’s still with you. I hope you’ll find peace, Holly. Good luck with the giveaway. Take care.
